AHL: WBS Penguins Thread: Youre a prospect until youre 30 and youll like it!

[Jacob]

Poulin’s line was the only line making plays which is good. Blomqvist’s stat line looks good but one of the goals he gave up was kinda leaky. They had a good start and a decent late 3rd but overall were outplayed.

A lot of shot *attempts* but the Phantoms were fronting pucks and they were such muffins of shots they were quickly going the other way.

Samorukov had a couple big hits and a few good plays. You wouldn’t have guessed that Shea - St. Ivany was the 3rd pair of an NHL team just a couple weeks ago, but that’s how the AHL goes.

From the little bit I've read, it seems like Poulin and Koivunen really stood out in good ways today. I was hoping Puustinen would have a bigger impact but I didn't read much about him.

I'm really hoping Poulin can pan out. He's never going to be that good of a player, but a jack of all trades bottom-6 guy that can play C or W and in any situation still helps the team.

Maybe Poulin, Koivunen and Ponomarev all make the penguins roster in October?

Penguins roster is pretty damn stacked. Hope they can make a run and get some decent playoff type play for these guys.

You'll get Harkins, Accari and Neito and like having Harkins, Accari and Neito, you nerd. - Mike Sullivan probably.

 

[Jacob]

Looking much better so far today. Petersen’s made some good stops though.

Andonovski has had 3 great chances.

 

[Jacob]

Broz is noticeable. More so than the first game. Surprised Johnstone is back this soon.

Andonovski has had 3 chances including a breakaway.

Their PP scores more than ours but they still like to shoot themselves in the foot a lot. Maybe we need like a dedicated powerplay guru or something.

 

[Victor Z]

Rathbone looks like he'd make a decent PPQB.

 

[Jacob]

Rathbone looks like he'd make a decent PPQB.

He’s a UFA too but I’d be fine with re-signing him for depth. He didn’t get a lot of points but they had Smith and Butcher to spread around the offense and PPQB duties. Probably keep him and Samorukov and look for a couple veteran righties to fill out the pairings.

 

[Jacob]

I’m guessing Jelsma isn’t playoff eligible?

 

[Jacob]

Taking a bunch of penalties and shitting the bed in the 3rd.

 

[Victor Z]

The call on Oullett was especially bullshit.

 

[Al Smith]

Taking a bunch of penalties and shitting the bed in the 3rd.

Once they learn to blow 3rd period leads on PP, ES, and SH, they will approach the feats of the big club. Too bad. Was hoping their season would go on a little bit so we could see some of these younger guys.

 

[Jacob]

Puustinen with a nice pass on a nothing rush and we’re back up.

A Phantom slashed Puustinen after the goal but the refs decide to call Puustinen for unknown reasons.

Tough to take this league seriously.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

The Baby Pens are playing Sullivan hockey; blowing a multiple goal third period lead.

Big Puusy 1G, 2A
Zohorna 2G
Hinostroza 3A
Koivunen 1A
Rathbone 1G 1A

Going to overtime!! Big shock. The baby pens had a two goal lead going to the 3rd period. (Sound familiar). Lehigh Valley- three power play goals so far tonight.

5-4 OT loss. Goodbye season.

 

[DesertedPenguin]

Blomqvist not exactly stellar in two playoff games.

I still like him, but I don't think it's worth rushing him. I'd like him to be the No. 3 next year. If he's lights out in the first half of the year, move a goalie in January to make space for Blomqvist in the NHL.

 

[Gurglesons]

The loser mentality is throughout the organization. Great job Dubas.

 

[GilbertSeinfeld]

"Congratulations gentlemen, you are officially Pittsburgh Penguins."

"But, we blew a third period lead and lost in OT."

"I already congratulated you."

 

[Allie Kitsune]

When you don't have a JD Forrest, you're looking for a JD Forrest.

Heard Dubas and staff really like Rathbone.

 

[Jacob]

Yeah Blom could’ve been better.

 

[Ryder71]

Havent been paying attention is there season over?
